EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an incredibly detailed anatomical illustration from 1546. Created by the French School in the 16th century, this woodcut measures 37.2x24.6 cm and is part of a private collection. The image depicts a front view of a man's respiratory system, providing a fascinating glimpse into the understanding of human anatomy during that time. The woodcut was originally published in Paris by Simon de Colines as part of Charles Estienne's book "La dissection des parties du corps humain divisee en trois liures. . ". This masterpiece offers valuable insights into the mid-16th-century medical practices and serves as a testament to the advancements made in biology and healthcare. The black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, while the full-length posture of the seated male figure emphasizes his importance as an anatomist or possibly even Charles Estienne himself, who was known for his contributions to medical literature. With its intricate details and historical significance, this woodcut stands as both an artistic achievement and an educational tool. It reminds us of our continuous quest for knowledge about the human body throughout history.
